Atomic layer deposition of Ru films from bis(2,5-dimethylpyrrolyl)ruthenium and oxygen
2012
Abstract Ru thin films were grown on hydrogen terminated Si, SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , HfO 2 , and TiO 2 surfaces by atomic layer deposition from bis(2,5-dimethylpyrrolyl)ruthenium precursor and oxygen. The 4–20 nm thick films on these surfaces consisted of nanocrystalline hexagonal metallic ruthenium, regardless of the deposition temperature. At the lowest temperatures examined, 250–255 °C, the growth of the Ru films was favored on silicon, compared to the growth on Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 and HfO 2 . At higher temperatures the nucleation and growth of Ru became enhanced in particular on HfO 2 , compared to the process on silicon. At 320–325 °C, no growth occurred on Si–H and SiO 2 -covered silicon. Res…
Atomic Layer Deposition of Ruthenium Films from (Ethylcyclopentadienyl)(pyrrolyl)ruthenium and Oxygen
2011
Ru films were grown by atomic layer deposition in the temperature range of 275―350°C using (ethylcyclopentadienyl)(pyrrolyl)ruthenium and air or oxygen as precursors on HF-etched Si, SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , and TiN substrates. Conformal growth was examined on three-dimensional silicon substrates with 20:1 aspect ratio. ZrO 2 promoted the nucleation of Ru most efficiently compared to other substrates, but the films roughened quickly on ZrO 2 with increasing film thickness. The minimum number of cycles required to form continuous and conductive metal layers could be decreased by increasing the length of the oxygen pulse. In order to obtain well-conducting Ru films growth to thicknesses of at least 8―…
Detection and quantification of lung cancer biomarkers by a micro-analytical device using a single metal oxide-based gas sensor
2018
International audience; The analysis of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) related to lung cancer is a very promising wayin medical diagnosis because it is non-invasive and much less expensive than traditional medical analysisused so far. In that sense, a silicon micro-analytical platform consisting of a micro-preconcentrator cou-pled to a silicon spiral gas chromatographic micro-column was built, and a metal oxide-based gas sensorwas used as a miniaturized gas detector. This micro-fabricated device was successfully tested to selec-tively detect low concentrations of VOCs considered as lung cancer biomarkers, within a few minuteseven in presence of high concentrations of water vapor …

Electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) is a commonly used technique for the study of spin-dependent transport processes in semiconductor materials and electro-optical devices. Here, we present the design and implementation of a compact setup to measure EDMR, which is based on a commercially available benchtop electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer. The electrical detection part uses mostly off-the-shelf electrical components and is thus highly customizable. We present a characterization and calibration procedure for the instrument that allowed us to quantitatively reproduce results obtained on a silicon-based reference sample with a “large-scale” state-of-the-art instru…

Structure formation and properties of corundum ceramics based on metastable aluminium oxide doped with stabilized zirconium dioxide
2021
Abstract The work presents a successful example of the use of YSZ binary systems for production of composite ceramic materials based on θ-Al2O3 with improved physical and mechanical characteristics which was previously considered an unpromising material. It was first obtained result of extreme nature of dependence of physical and mechanical properties of Al2O3+YSZ on the concentration of YSZ (ZrO2–3mol% of Y2O3) additive. The sintering temperature was decreased on 250 °C (from 1800 to 1550 °C). The phase composition of powders and the structure of ceramics of the Al2O3 + YSZ system were investigated depending on the amount of YSZ dopant, the structure-properties relationship was established…
PLZT—Synthesis, sintering and ceramics microstructure
2006
Abstract Producing of PLZT powders by original two-stage co-precipitation method from mixed solution of inorganic salts ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O, TiCl 4 , La(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O, Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , was carried out. The sequence of phases formed during PLZT synthesis has been studied by X-ray and DTA analysis. Ceramic samples were prepared by two-stage hot-pressing technology. Dielectric, ferroelectric and optical properties have been measured. Ceramic microstructures were studied by SEM with energy dispersive analytical capability (EDX). The fine-grained microstructure was quite uniform with the average grain size of 5–7 μm, without internal or grain boundary porosity. The optical transmittance of ceramic p…
Solid State NMR Spectroscopy Investigation of the Molecular Structure of Epoxy Based Materials Cured in Different Conditions
2012
In this work two epoxy resin model systems, whose monomers are typically used in structural composites, were thermally cured in different cure conditions in order to obtain different cross-linking densities. Their molecular structures were investigated through solid state NMR spectroscopy in order to correlate them to the cure process conditions used and the results were discussed in the light of the dynamical mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) performed.
Solid-state electrochemical characterization of emissions and authorities producing Roman brass coins
2020
[EN] The voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) is applied to describe the solid state electrochemistry of brass. This methodology, which involves sampling at the nanogram level, is applied to discriminate mints/authorities producing different Roman monetary emissions covering since the Republic (88 BCE) to Domitianus (55-96 CE) Upon attachment to graphite electrodes in contact with aqueous acetate buffer at pH 4.75, well defined voltarnmetric responses were obtained centered on Cu- and Zn-localized signals whose intensity can be correlated to EMP data, being sensitive to the contents of Zn (15-30 wt.%) and Sn (0.01-1.1 wt.%). Voltammetric data, combined with ATR-FTIR and FIB-PESEM/EDS…
